Every now and then the mask of male civility slips and we are afforded a glimpse of the misogyny that still streaks through some of the men who walk among us. | OPINION by Jacqueline Maley deppvsheard johnnydepp amberheard

“Tonight’s whinging b–tch will be quickly forgotten once your powerful doco hits. The whole world is sick of this pathetic bullshit,” Jarratt texted to his mate. Jarratt was referring to a TV special McLachlan did to defend his name against allegations of sexual harassment and abuse made against him in an investigation by the ABC and Nine newspapers.

Women walk through the world knowing, vaguely, about what Donald Trump called “locker-room talk”. But because we’re not present in the locker room, this mysterious talk is a grey area that could lie anywhere on a spectrum. It’s confronting to realise just how far that spectrum extends, to know that this, actually, is what qualifies as japery among some men; this is how they chat when their guard is down, and they can be what Hollywood types might call their “authentic selves”.

It also heard that his ex-wife had hit him too, had taunted him while he was drug-addled and low, and had not given to charity the entirety of her divorce settlement, as she had pledged she would. As the #metoo movement picked up pace a few years ago, we heard again and again that it was a witch-hunt; vigilante justice with the absolute wrong sort of person wielding the pitchfork – the emotional, angry woman. We heard that it would destroy the reputations of the men named as perpetrators and harassers.

They were as bad as each other. Both rampant drug users. But I guess writing an article about false allegations, deceit, manipulation, emotional and psychological abuse wouldn’t be much of a headline.

Back to those days, only from people who claim to be educated.

Algunos? Creo que casi todos los hombres

Audio between Amber Heard and Jerry Judge in Australia (johnnys finger incident)

I wish AH all the best in trying to recover from her “OWN” lies and deception .. audio of her is damning & she’s guilty of malice defamation .. pay up!!! girlie, and I hope never to hear or see of you again.. as I’m as survivor and you don’t speak for me..

The judge jury and lawyers were amazing, and the verdict true. Johnny Depp had been defamed by an article written in the news. It was written with malicious intent. They were divorced at the time the article was written. It's not about other people's situations. It's about him.

Well, she admitted to abusing him AmberHeardIsAnAbuser

Wow. Did you even once mentioned the unabated and blatant misandry you and the world are espousing? Articles like these are why, so my wife tells me, she refuses feminism.

Every now and again, after divorce, moving on, getting a new girlfriend, female civility slips, and an article is written defaming an ex husband.. Now imagine if the tables were turned.. ? The jury found it not only true, but also with malicious intent. Accept their decision

Yes. Men can see that even after a six year battle and winning in court with overwhelming evidence, they will still not be believed. They will be guilty just by accusation and will have neither social nor legal recourse to clear their name. Well done 👍

And women. A lot of women are equally misogynistic

'male reputation is more valuable than female safety'..reading this article was confusing to me. You are talking about many situations.. none of which I can believe. The Johnny Depp trial was about Johnny Depp being defamed by his ex wife in the media. The world and jury agreed.

“Tell the world Johnny, see what a Judge or Jury thinks. Tell the world, I Johnny Depp, a man, am a victim too of domestic violence. See how many people believe or side with you.” - Guess who said this.

I don't know where all those 'journalism is about speaking truth to power' people went when Amber Heard wrote an op-ed advocating for legal protections for people speaking out against powerful men and was sued to silence her. JusticeForAmber

You know, he lost the trial, unanimously by the jury.

How long are these articles going to keep trying to spread this bullshit ? She lost because she was lying. Most women & real victims are with Johnny. Stop victim blaming!

JusticeForAmberHeard

What's the female equivalent of an incel or MRA? Because the dolt that wrote this garbage is one of those. Now is not the time to jump up and down about how poorly Women are treated, after we've just found out that that a monstrously abusive one had a victim stitched up for years

Take your opinion to a dumpster thanks. No where am I required to believe lies just because a woman says so sorry 🤷‍♂️ There's definity some questionable things from johnny, but when heards story seems to be full of claims that don't match the evidence or witnesses, that's a lie

.These gaslighting articles are aimed purely at the people who DIDN'T WATCH THE WHOLE TRIAL! It's an utterly disgraceful SHAMEFUL attempt at face saving relevance, and to keep control of your narrative YOU ARE HARMING genuine victims and survivors AbuseHasNoGender

.As much as you want to try and make this 'women vs men' It's EVIDENCE OVER LIES! The INFORMED PUBLIC vs and a MSM that missed the whole TRIAL! Stop PROMOTING HEARD'S BIG LIE in OUR NAME!! WE DO NOT WANT LYING FRAUDS AS REPRESENTATIVES! it's as dangerous as Trump's BIG LIE!!

.WRONG!!! Jacqueline is so DANGEROUSLY WRONG Msm need to STOP insulting and gaslighting REAL victims Immediately! We've had ENOUGH!! It's ABUSE by MSM!

Oh FFS ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT GASLIGHTING!! YOU ARE HARMING ALL VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS! how f ing DARE you! Jacqueline clearly DIDN'T WATCH THE TRIAL!! Or do any research beyond sound bites and other journalists' opinions NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Did he say foul things yes. Did he rape her with a broken bottle? No. She literally lied about all of her accusations. She was the physical abuser.

You’re gaslighting us. We watched the trial. We saw the evidence. We heard the testimony. Amber lied against Johnny maliciously. She weapons the court system and Me Too in an attempt to destroy Johnny’s life. Amber was the abuser. Johnny was her victim.

That excerpt is gold and so true

I’ll say.

This trials verdict was a little bit of justice for every man abused by woman and every innocent man falsely accused that spent decades in jail, died in jail, were lynched, dragged behind cars until death etc because of a lying evil woman.

The only sexists here are the blatant misandrists defending Amber Heard, the proven abuser

I think you need to get out more.

AmberTurdIsAnAbuser AmberHeardIsALiar AmberHeardIsAPsycopath TruthWins

🙄🙄🙄🙄 MenToo Sick to death of toxic radical feminists “ opinions “ Not gonna read it 🙄

NO! IT WAS NOT! I am a survivor. I am not helpless. I am resourceful. I seek out help, and give help. I am a strong woman that will not let or allow this embarrassing bandstand to diminish what I have accomplished. YOU WILL NOT SPEAK FOR ME!

The article is spot on about Depp and all terrible things he said about Amber Heard. Just fails to also mention that Heard took a steamy boz on Depps bed

**misandry** there I fixed it for you AmberTurdIsAnAbuser

Sensationalist headline that pushes an agenda whilst distracting from the important issues at hand in the wake of the verdict.Aman told the world his experience as a victim. Jury believe him. Media seem committed not to. What message does that send male victims?AbuseHasNoGender

Um, nope. That is what is in the ear of every false accuser and liar. If you lie you deserve what you get.

Mainstream media generally is not reporting the truths that were revealed in this case. ‘The truth that has we heard In the audios, ‘Johnny Depp, a man, a victim of domestic violence’ told the world and the jury and millions that watched believe him AbuseHasNoGender Justice

No. Disbelief at the extent of abuse by this person that made herself a leader of female victim rings in comments. It’s no wonder the man required a full hearing out in front of the world because if this were a closed court, mainstream media generally is not reporting the truth

AH lost partly because of the testimony of various people including police officers and partly because AH's team were so amateurish. Comparing AH's career to Jason Monoa got so many silent smirks from the people that I could see. I can only imagine the jury's jury reaction

Confirmation bias strong in this piece. Look around for intelligent and respectful commentary on the verdict, after weeks of evidence and testimony and there is a good dollop if misandry too. To diminish the wave of public sentiments to one comment suiting your agenda Biased

Elon better make jails on Mars as pretty soon we can't make any negative comments privately to a friend.

Female journalists are so butt hurt they claiming so many wild things.

you people disgust me. i'm not going to waste my time being witty. you're trash.

Amber Heard committed perjury multiple times during the trial and so did her witnesses She had no evidence of abuse because there was never any abuse

Did you watch any of the trial clearly not listen to the audio of the abuse aimed at JD by AH and come up with the same answer ppl like you stop woman coming forward by not admitting that she was wrong and lied because she was a woman and thought she could get away with it...

JusticeServedForJohnnyDepp

The article is written by a man hating witch if you ask me

With every one of these articles still trying to defend Amber, you destroy your own credibility. Legacy media, in doing this, is strangling themselves.

Men and women tbh. I’m fact its other women that have been the most vile.

Louder for the people in the back!

What the voice was, was of AH lying and making allegations up and changing them to suit her narrative. She lied using the metoo movement as cover. It's because of AH that the movement is under fire. Defending a liar devalues the movement. DV victims back JD not AH.

Far point, can you address how the female mask slipped during this trial? I would say her rage against anyone who disagrees with her dooms her. Her hatred/fear of men seems much like his of women. Only we are to believe hers is righteous and his is abusive.

If a man ever on many audios mocked a woman for running away and hiding from abuse calling her a baby and daring them to tell the world shes a victim while admitting to hitting, punching chasing through the house pots pans etc you wouldnt be writing an article like this.

Wow so you start off talking about equality but then cant accept equality for victims. Just because he wrote something not nice to a friend doesnt mean he wasnt abused by her as the many audios show. Equality isnt about denying male victims or thinking one needs b perfect

The UK got it right. I’m really not surprised a US court got it so horribly wrong.

As much as I love Amber, she knew as all women know men can be insecure and brutal, this is the way many relationship have coursed down through all of history! She will become so much stronger for all of her persecutions.

Misandry walks among us, sometimes they even write idiotic op-eds.

how are you people still spewing this toxic narrative? Heard is a horrible person and she abused her spouse. Stop defending her just because she's a woman.

What gets me is that most people accept she was hit by JD, they just think it just wasn't as bad as she made out in evidence bc of her photos and so she's a liar. Hmm what about the hit part

Hyper vigilance is a very real aftershock of DV. You're spot on. The trial was a witch hunt & DeppHeads are showing just how far society hasn't moved beyond the hunt. And that's part of WHY Depp televised the case, to continue abusing Heard well into the future

SHEEEEEEEEEE LIIIIIIEEEEED!!!!!!!! She’s no victim. Stop being a misandrist!!!!!

stirgussa Not absolving the male misogynists, but they were also women misogynist abetting Depp, including the Judge, ZellnerLaw and Camille. They were often the most fool and they used their womenhood to drag another woman, despite all the evidence in her favor.

What is also reveals is the state of the justice system. That a sitting judge, after hearing the evidence, let the jury decide whether the statement “I became a public figure representing domestic abuse” was defamatory shows how either lazy or worse I’ll-equipped the judge was.

Wow... You really missed the mark on this one. Its not even an ACCURATE article let alone a true view. Johnny was awarded $10mil not $20. Plus $5m punitive.

😂🤣🤣 women aren’t always the cixti of men. Get over it. She’s the wolf in this story.

yes

Utter nonsense. She lied under oath again and again. Did you see the trial ?

Most of the men.

Both were abusive to each other. I think neither deserve any money. As a man with a daughter and mother very important to him, this verdict makes me even more afraid for them. Fear of libel if a woman can't definitively prove abuse will keep them from saying anything to anyone.

great article by Jacqueline Maley pointing out the obvious misogyny and double standard surrounding the trial.

I'm a survivor of DV and in absolutely no way does Amber represent or speak for me. I watched that trial from start to finish. She's a liar. She is NOT the victim. She's probably never had her face beaten, ever. I have, and the bruises never vanished under makeup or overnight.

Wow. The mask of misogyny. While I was considering the mask of false allegations highlighted with a bruise kit. Or the mask of lies highlighted by the truth. The mask of hate highlighted by love. There will always be some form of hatred, let’s make sure it isn’t in our hearts.

AmberHeardIT This article is riddled with errors, it’s almost like you just want to believe AH, because you think it hurts our gender not to! Her testimony was a script, there was no validation except her sister, whom she abused her whole life! I wouldn’t be proud of this writing!

Jurors not versed in how to test domestic violence evidence should not be making decisions. Thankful the judges in the UK tested the evidence and got it right. If he wants to clear his name, he needs to appeal the UK decision. All the best convincing actual judges they’re wrong.

She should be put in jail for committing perjury and pay for defamation. Enjoy working at Maccas biatch. Not that there’s anything wrong with Maccas 🤣🤣

AbuseHasNoGender

So the 12 jury members were wrong? Amber Heard is a compulsive liar, and I question the motives of you and anyone defending her. I watched every minute of that trial, and nearly every word that came out of her mouth was proven to be a lie.

Misogyny!! If Ms Higgins likes this all the more reason to have a good laugh

Maley knows better than the court and all those who reviewed the evidence.

ffs. this was a court of law a jury of their peers presided over by a judge.

I’m fairly sure a drunk, recovering HEROIN addict Actor would be suuuuper easy to live with. Both at fault. Amber’s treatment by social media was disgusting. This article is spot on.

There is also misandry to consider.

So it’s still not OK to be a normal male gee wiz when can we come back to a normal world

The court has settled it, the end.

If a woman lies then she needs to be held to account, this has nothing to do with female domestic violence victims, surely feminists have a high enough IQ to know the difference.

IF THIS CASE HAS PROVEN ANYTHING, IT’S THAT BiasedMainstreamMediaCantBeTrusted ANYONE WHO WAS BOTHERED TO WATCH THE UNEDITED LIVE COURT CASE, SEEN AND REVIEWED THE EVIDENCE CAN SEE THAT AmberHeardIsGuilty AND JohnnyDeppIsInnocent MenToo BelieveTheEvidenceNotTheGender

I find it amazing that as a man was deemed to have 'won' against a woman, it's misogyny, couldn't be right, men are evil, she's been hard done by. Some women are shocking too. It seems easier for some to assume all that a jury got it wrong, and all men are evil. Sad.

Maley should read Parnell McGuiness’ opinion piece in today’s SMH. Unfortunately this debate has been hijacked by extremists on both sides. Some people are pointing out quite rightly that the trial was a victory for due process.

IT’S NOT MISOGYNY TO BELIEVE THAT AmberHeardIsaDVAbuserAndFalseAccuser BECAUSE SHE’S A FEMALE AND JohnnyDeppIsInnocent BECAUSE HE’S A MAN! There’s OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE that JD is the Victim and AH is the ABUSER! BelieveTheEvidence NOT THE GENDER!

There is evidence of Amber Heard abusing Johnny and then defaming him. Not saying Depp was completely innocent but the outcome of this suit was absolutely right.

Not so, every victim of domestic abuse, whether that is female, or males deserves to be treated fairly, sensitively, and without prejudice or bias whether they are female, or male. /1

Another classic writing piece proving that some women quite literally can only hear what they want to hear.

Anyone who can understand this post is a genius.....Who ever posted it seems very bitter about the Court decision on Johnny Depp. I may be wrong.

the ridiculous inference that this defamation trial will deter the MeToo movement or stop women reporting abuse is way of base and an insult to women who do stand up.

an assumption even in headline that assumes Heard was truthful and Depp not which Maley, me or anyone else could not possibly know.

A sad article from a woman too entrench in ideology to be objective

At least we can all be thankful that poor sweet innocent Amber conducted herself with total dignity throughout the relationship. Apart from the defaecating on the bed thingy but I’m sure she had a very good reason for that.

Most of the savage comments about this case are from other women.

Is that what the judge said ? No. Quite the opposite.

A Turd is a violent physical and mental abuser.

Heard-Depp trial is a reality TV check for #MeTooVicious insults against Amber Heard will no doubt make it harder for women to report domestic violence, but that does not mean all women’s accusations against men must be believed. Women, too, are capable of being wrong - and violent. Can we all just move on from this. What's said has been said. The trigger has been pulled. There were wrongs and there were rights. The media has picked the carcass clean. Let it rot. MeToo
